Beatbox Blackbird Installation

Detailed instructions for the Beatbox Blackbird are coming soon. In the meantime, refer to the video below for specific installation steps.

• If you have a 2023 year or later Sprinter chassis, you must also install the bus bar expansion kit. Instructions here.

To prepare your van for installation, many of the steps for the Beatbox Blackbird are the same as for the previous version, the 10" Beatbox. Refer to the 10" Beatbox guide for steps on how to disconnect the chassis battery, remove the seats, remove the floor, remove the wire chase cover and access other necessary areas.
